Thanks for your patience, lots of scanning tonight and a crappy scanner. Anyway I counted 10 for attacking (including eating and enslaving as attacking, because those are pretty aggressive moves), 9 for drinking the suspicious potion off that weird tree trunk, and 1 for begging for mercy. Attacking it is...

That Pixie has a Fist score, which means you have to roll a dice and add it to his Effort score. You must beat that score to win.

I decided to spend 5 Effort to pummel him, since we have 3 Fists and he has only 1. He'd have to get a 6 to win a round, and he got a 4. His Effort score is 9, so we need a total of 10 to win.

I rolled 6, 3 and 3. Taking the highest of those scores and adding it to that 5 Effort gives us 11, which beats him.

That actually cost us 6 Effort because of the shield. Moving on to 95...

Well, you asked for it (64):

Two things going on here. Before we continue with the fun and awesome consequences of eating the corpses of sentient beings:

This was when we were back in the Bat Cave on page 33 and I promised to eventually show you this path too. This leads to one of the game's endings so I will follow along with this path while we progress through the main story. We'll continue into the passage as the other option just goes back to the choice about the Goblins or the Pixies.

Leaving that to future updates, we're cannibals now (sort of), and tripping balls at that. We lose 1 Elan until we sober up and it's time to roll for potion effects.

Grandma's bad news, she's Effort 12 and we're down a point of Elan. We can still swing it using the maximum effort of 7... and I did it, taking three rounds and costing 24 Effort after the shield is taken into consideration. We're down to 53 Effort.

Having survived that bad trip we move on to our next decision:

What's the next move?

Before sleeping make sure to position the corpses to make it look like the pixies committed a murder-canibalism-suicide-pact type scenario which, as anyone who is anyone obviously already knows, pixies are well known for doing quite often.

If any of you have a working memory of this book or, better still, are reading along with your own copy, could you please roll on the table and let me know what abomination we've let loose on the world with our horrible, horrible choices?

I don't have this book, but the Two-Fisted Fantasy Forums have a whole thread dedicated to hating on The Prince of Shards. Apparently he's "really creepy" and has a "weird face." Gave a lot of kids nightmares back in the day. He might be the monster summoned here.

I think I remember also that type and stats were disconnected because of the nature of chaos and all that. It was more for fluff for jerk players that tried to go all evil and that. We are an elf, not a demon wrangler.

Looks like it's a Shade with

6x2: 12 Effort
4x1: 4 Toughness
2x1: 2 fists

Then again, I don't have the book or cards and we always just house ruled the game.

Either way I think I remember one of the options was to Throw Pixie dust at the demon and run!

I kinda remember them having this book at the library and while I don't remember all the options on the table the one that kinda stuck out was the souls of all the newly damned pixies, bound to serve the one who raised them. I don't remember what a batallion of mutilated hell pixies were good for tho

The Pixie Revenant? It's about as much use as an equivalent number of live pixies.

Hmm, seems like people have copies from different editions. I hear that some of the demons pissed off some Christian mom groups or something, so they had to reprint with something tamer.

Yeah, a bunch of Christian groups went around and ripped out a bunch of pages from any copy they could find. A lot of what's in the few copies still floating around are fan inserts to make the books playable again. Anyway, if the thread could pick one of these, I'd be most obliged. They're all respectable choices.

The Prince of Shards
A Shade
Undead Pixie Behemoth
Negative-us
Large PhalloKnight
One-Eyed Willy
Some other godforsaken thing

The stats for all the demons on that chart are ridiculous. That Shade would pull the elf apart like a delicious rotisserie chicken.

Yeah, it was to basically punish idiots who thought an elf can solo a demon. I think in my edition the act of killing a demon just summons another. Taking you in a loop through pages until you picked the run option, but yeah, Phalloknight sounds right.
